    3-blade vs 4-blade

    I also think tabs would help very much, but as a current owner of a 232, installing tabs would not gain much benefit IMO. The reason being is there is no room to place them where they would be needed close to the outside. Installing them close to the drive would bring its own problems and don't...

    Tall riser conversion

    From the looks of the design, it appears that after installing the longer riser, you just need a longer item 20 hose.

    1990 Mercruiser 4.3l v6 seawater pump location

    You said its a "inboard" but the 4.3 is normally not used with inboard applications. They are normally used with Gen 2 outdrives. With an outdrive you would have an I/O (inboard with outdrive). So if you have an outdrive then the impeller is inside the lower section of the drive If you do...

    2005 Mercruiser 5.0 MPI - ECM - recorded information and solid alarm issue

    Might be the gear switch. If the motor thinks its in neutral there will be an alarm. Disconnect it and see if that fixes the issue. You won't have the interrupter switch

    Got it out, used a 2 jar puller, torch and hammer. To do the all thread I needed to move the tractor over to the shop, just thought I would give this a try. Using the thread and pipe would only allow me to apply heat to one side
